Exodus 16
1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Afei, wɔtu firii Elim baa Sin ɛserɛ so a ɛda Elim ne Bepɔ Sinai ntam. Wɔtu firii Misraim no, bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu dadu nnanum so na wɔduruu hɔ.
2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;
Wɔduruu hɔ no nso, nnipa no kasa tiaa Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
3 and the children of Israel said unto them: 'Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.'
“Ao! Sɛ yɛwɔ Misraim bio na anka Awurade rekunkum yɛn wɔ hɔ a, anka yɛpɛ. Na yɛnya nnuane bebree di wɔ hɔ. Nanso, mode yɛn abɛgu ɛserɛ so ha ama ɛkɔm rekum yɛn.”
4 Then said the LORD unto Moses: 'Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or not.
Ɛnna Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Merebɛtɔ aduane firi soro abɛgu asase so ama wɔn. Obiara bɛtumi akɔboaboa dodoɔ biara a ɔpɛ ano ama deɛ ɔbɛdi no ɛda koro. Mede yei bɛsɔ wɔn ahwɛ sɛ wɔbɛdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so anaasɛ wɔrenni so.
5 And it shall come to pass on the sixth day that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.'
Ka kyerɛ wɔn na nnawɔtwe biara mu ɛda a ɛtɔ so nsia no, wɔmmoaboa aduane no ano sɛdeɛ daa wɔboaboa no no, mmɔho mmienu.”
6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel: 'At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Enti, Mose ne Aaron frɛɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa ne wɔn hyiaeɛ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Anwummerɛ yi, mobɛhunu sɛ Awurade na ɔyii mo firii Misraim asase so.
7 and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that He hath heard your murmurings against the LORD; and what are we, that ye murmur against us?'
Sɛ ɛduru anɔpa a, mobɛhunu nʼanimuonyanneɛ bebree; ɛfiri sɛ, wate mo anwiinwii a monwiinwii tia no no. Na yɛn ne hwan a monnwiinwii tia yɛn?
8 And Moses said: 'This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against Him; and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.'
Anwummerɛ yi, Awurade bɛma mo ɛnam awe, na wama mo aduane anɔpa. Ɛfiri sɛ, wate mo anwiinwii a monwiinwii tia no no. Moannwiinwii antia yɛn, na monwiinwii tiaa Awurade.”
9 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel: Come near before the LORD; for He hath heard your murmurings.'
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa sɛ wɔmmra Awurade anim na wɔmmɛtie wɔn anwiinwii no ho mmuaeɛ.”
10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
Enti, Aaron frɛɛ wɔn boaa ano, na prɛko pɛ, wɔmaa wɔn ani so kyerɛɛ baabi a omununkum a ɛrekyerɛ wɔn ɛkwan no wɔ no, Awurade firii mu daa nʼanimuonyam kɛseɛ no adi.
11 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
12 'I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel. Speak unto them, saying: At dusk ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.'
“Mate wɔn anwiinwii no, ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Anwummerɛ, mobɛnya ɛnam awe na anɔpa nso mobɛnya aduane pii adi na mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, no.’”
13 And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew round about the camp.
Anwummerɛ no, nnomaa pii bɛbuu so wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ na anɔpa no, obosuo tɔ guu ɛserɛ no so ma ɛyɛɛ fɔkyee;
14 And when the layer of dew was gone up, behold upon the face of the wilderness a fine, scale-like thing, fine as the hoar-frost on the ground.
obosuo no tuiɛ no akyire no, biribi te sɛ nsenseneeɛ bi a ɛte sɛ nkyenkyeneeɛ bɛguu asase no so.
15 And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another: 'What is it?' — for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them: 'It is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
Israelfoɔ no hunuiɛ no, wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛdeɛbɛn nie?” Na Mose buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛyɛ aduane a Awurade de ama mo sɛ monni no.
16 This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded: Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.'
Awurade aka sɛ, ‘Obiara mmoaboa dodoɔ biara a ɛbɛso ɔne ne fiefoɔ die ano.’”
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
Enti, Israelfoɔ no firii adi kɔboaboaa aduane no bi ano. Ebi faa pii ɛnna ebi faa kakraa bi.
18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
Wɔhwiee deɛ wɔaboaboa ano no nyinaa guu susukoraa mu no, na ɛdɔɔso sɛ obiara bɛnya bi. Wɔn a wɔnyaa pii no, ebi anka, ɛnna wɔn a wɔnyaa kakra bi no nso, ɛsoo wɔn. Efie biara nyaa ne so ne ne deɛ.
19 And Moses said unto them: 'Let no man leave of it till the morning.'
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mommma adeɛ nkye so.”
20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and rotted; and Moses was wroth with them.
Nanso, ebinom yɛɛ asoɔden maa adeɛ kyee so. Adeɛ kyee so no, na adɔre nsaama ma ɛbɔn enti Mose bo fuu wɔn yie.
21 And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating; and as the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Afei, na wɔkɔtase aduane no anɔpa biara, na wɔtase dodoɔ biara a, ɛso efie biara. Na awia bɔɔ dendeenden guu so no, aduane no nyinaa naneeɛ.
22 And it came to pass that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one; and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nsia no, wɔtasee sɛdeɛ wɔtase no daa no mmɔho mmienu. Wɔtasee susukoraa nsia, nanso daa na wɔtase susukoraa mmiɛnsa. Mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua nnipa no ano no bɛbisaa Mose deɛ enti a aba saa.
23 And he said unto them: 'This is that which the LORD hath spoken: To-morrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto the LORD. Bake that which ye will bake, and seethe that which ye will seethe; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.'
Mose buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade aka ato hɔ sɛ, ‘Ɔkyena yɛ homeda. Ɛyɛ homeda kronkron ma Awurade a ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ yɛn nnwuma biara. Enti, monnoa dodoɔ biara a mopɛ ɛnnɛ, na deɛ ɛbɛka no, monnya ma adeɛ nkye so.’”
24 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not rot, neither was there any worm therein.
Na adeɛ kyee so no, na ɛyɛ a nsaama biara nni mu na ɛmmɔn nso.
25 And Moses said: 'Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto the LORD; to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
Mose kaa sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ, mo aduane nie, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnnɛ yɛ Awurade homeda enti aduane biara rentɔ ngu asase so.
26 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.'
Momfa nna nsia mmoaboa aduane ano, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no yɛ homeda enti morennya aduane biara saa ɛda no.”
27 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none.
Homeda no, nnipa no bi firii adi sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ aduane no bi, nanso na ebi nni hɔ.
28 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws?
Awurade bisaa Mose sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi bɛyɛ asoɔden akɔsi da bɛn?
29 See that the LORD hath given you the sabbath; therefore He giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.'
Wɔnhunu sɛ nna nsia so no, memaa wɔn mmɔho mmienu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛso wɔn nnanu? Awurade se momfa ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no sɛ homeda; montena mo ntomadan mu. Mommfiri adi nkɔtase aduane mfiri asase so.”
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
Enti, ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, nnipa no homee.
31 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
Israelfoɔ no too aduane no edin sɛ, Mana aseɛ ne “Ɛyɛ ɛdeɛn?” Ɛyɛ fitaa sɛ wisa aba na ɛyɛ dɛ te sɛ taterɛ a ɛwoɔ wɔ mu.
32 And Moses said: 'This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded: Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'
Mose kaa asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmfa aduane no susukoraa mmiɛnsa na wɔmfa nkɔsie wɔn adekorabea afebɔɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, nkyirimma bɛhunu aduane a Awurade de maa wɔn dii wɔ ɛserɛ so ɛberɛ a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim no.
33 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take a jar, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept throughout your generations.'
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ ɔmfa kyɛnsee na ɔmfa mana lita mmiɛnsa ngu mu na ɔmfa nsie kronkronbea bi mma nkyirimma.
34 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Aaron yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnyɛ no na ɔkɔkoraa no wɔ Apam Adaka no mu wɔ kronkronbea hɔ.
35 And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
Enti, Israelfoɔ dii mana yi mfeɛ aduanan kɔsii sɛ wɔduruu Kanaan asase so a ɛhɔ deɛ, na afuomduane wɔ no.
36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Omer na na wɔde susu mana no. Omer yɛ lita mmiɛnsa.
